Cat Vasko To Script A Female-Centric 'Plastic Man' Movie

DC Comics hero Plastic Man will now be appearing as Plastic Woman...

Sources have informed The Hollywood Reporter that writer Cat Vasko has been hired to work on the feature presentation. However, with Vasko's hiring, the project being in the earliest stages of development, will now be a female-led vehicle. It is unclear if that means a title change or not. Two years ago, Amanda Idoko was hired to pen the script for what was meant to be a comedic action-adventure based on the character, who was created in 1940s.

The hero’s true identity is Patrick “Eel” O’Brian, a crook turned good guy. During a botched heist, O'Brian is shot and — wouldn’t you know it — also doused with a mysterious chemical. Left for dead by his gang, he awakens to find himself imbued with the power to shape-shift and stretch his body into almost anything. O’Brian eventually reforms and becomes a police officer.

DC-based film production president Walter Hamada and Chantal Nong are overseeing for the studio.
